-Empowering extraordinary health


Garden of Life’s commitment to health goes beyond offering some of the most effective nutritional products in the world.  By combining the best of nature and science, the Garden of Life brand offers a path to healthy living with premium products that are supported by education and innovation. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas give the environment a double-whammy, simultaneously burning an irreplaceable energy source and polluting the atmosphere and ocean. That’s why we buy 100% of our electricity needs from wind power, a pollution-free renewable resource.  We are among the first companies of our size to make this full commitment to renewable power, with our recent purchase of wind energy credits from 3 Phases Energy. While this adds expense to our business, it is worthwhile to save over one million pounds of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and prevent the burning of 300 tons of coal per year as certified by the independent Green-E organization.

-Where playing in the dirt is our job


At earth creations® our philosophy is to nurture the environment by using natural materials. We have revived an ancient dyeing process that combines clays of different colors with natural fibers such as hemp, linen, cotton, and organic cotton. We take pride in making a difference by crafting, unique, high quality garments made in the USA. Wear your clay-dyed clothing and do your share to help the environment. But unlike most other apparel companies we think there is a right way and a wrong way to make clothes. We use sustainably grown fibers, like hemp and organically grown cotton, for our fabrics. All of our contract cut and sew plants are in the U.S. and they abide by the labor laws set forth by our country. Because all of our garments are made in the U.S. we are able to visit our factories on a regular basis and make sure that the factory workers are satisfied and that our high quality standards are met. Most important is our commitment to using eco-friendly dyes. Our clay dyeing process eliminates artificially produced chemical dyestuffs.

It is pretty hard to find comfortable shoes that don't force you into some stereotype or just look stupid. So we started Simple, a nice little shoe company that offers an alternative to all the over-built, over-priced, and over-hyped products out there. How we do this is just as important as why we do it. Sure, we want to make a difference. But we want to make things better too. Better for the people we work with and better for the planet we live on. That means change. Changing the things we take from the planet. Changing the things we make. And changing the things we waste. Our future and our existence demand more than we have given. And taken. It is our mission is to leave the world better than we find it. 'Cause what we stand for is what we stand in and what we stand on. Our shoes. Our planet.
